Background and Aims This study aims to analyze the relationship between gender, age, occupation, residence, and anxiety in the education environment during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic. Methods This study used a descriptive‐analytic cross‐sectional design to determine anxiety using the DASS 42 questionnaire given to 181 respondents. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, and the data analysis used was the Chi‐square test and multivariate analysis. Results It was found that 66.7% of teenagers experienced anxiety, while 33.3% of adults experienced anxiety. In addition, the school‐age community (86.2%) experienced higher anxiety compared with the working‐age community (13.8%) who experienced anxiety. Women experienced more significant anxiety (66.7%) compared with men (33.3%). People living on the island of Java (74.7%) have a greater incidence of anxiety compared with people living outside Java (25.3%). Conclusion There is a significant relationship between the type of occupation and the incidence of anxiety with p < 0.05 (OR = 0.341). A significant correlation was found between age with the incidence of anxiety with p < 0.05 (OR = 0.489). The demographic factors altogether had significant relationships with the anxiety in the educational environment during the COVID‐19 pandemic with a p value < 0.05 and R Square of 0.069. There is a strong relationship between the demographic factors and the incidence of anxiety in the community's educational environment during the COVID‐19 pandemic with p < 0.05. It is suggested that women, school‐age communities, or the un‐employment community need to be supported to alleviate the impact of COVID‐19 on anxiety through several programs.

“…[23] A Bangla version of the DASS-21 has previously been validated among adults in Bangladesh. [24] Confidence to manage menstruation was assessed using similar self-report items across all three datasets. Participants were asked to report their agreement on a 4-point Likert scale (very unconfident, unconfident, confident, very confident) to the question relevant to home and then to school: How confident do you feel that you can manage your menstruation [pad yourself, change your materials, dispose of them or wash and dry them] when you are at home?…”

Objectives. Develop and validate short and rapid forms of the 36-item Menstrual Practice Needs Scale (MPNS-36). Design. Item reduction prioritised content validity and was informed by cognitive interviews with schoolgirls in Bangladesh, performance of scale items in past research, and stakeholder feedback. The original MPNS-36 was revalidated, and short and rapid forms tested in a cross-sectional survey. This was followed by further tests of dimensionality, internal consistency, and validity in multiple cross-sectional surveys. Setting and participants. Short form (MPNS-SF) and rapid form (MPNS-R) measures were developed in a survey of 313 menstruating girls (mean age=13.51) in Khulna, Bangladesh. They were further tested in the baseline survey of the Adolescent Menstrual Experiences and Health Cohort, in Khulna, Bangladesh (891 menstruating girls, mean age=12.40); and the dataset from the MPNS-36 development in Soroti, Uganda (538 menstruating girls, mean age=14.49). Results. The 18-item short form reflects the six original subscales, with the four core subscales demonstrating good fit in all three samples (Khulna pilot: RMSEA=0.064 90%CI 0.043-0.084, CFI=.94, TLI=.92. Cohort baseline: RMSEA=0.050 90%CI 0.039-0.062, CFI=.96, TLI=.95. Uganda: RMSEA=0.039 90%CI 0.028-0.050, CFI=.95, TLI=.94). The 9-item rapid form captures diverse needs. A two-factor structure was the most appropriate but fell short of adequate fit (Khulna pilot: RMSEA=0.092 90%CI 0.000-0.158, CFI=.93, TLI=.89). Hypothesised associations between the MPNS scores and other constructs were comparable between the MPNS-36 and MPNS-SF in all populations, and replicated, with attenuation, in the MPNS-R. Internal consistency remained acceptable. Conclusions. The MPNS-SF offers a reliable and valid measure of adolescent girls' menstrual hygiene experience while reducing participant burden, to support implementation and improve measurement in menstrual health research. The MPNS-R provides a brief measure with poorer structural validity, suited to including menstrual health within broader water, sanitation and hygiene or sexual and reproductive health research.

“…For each scale, all scores are summed and then multiplied by 2 since the standard DASS consists of 42 items. The DASS-21 has been translated into 45 different languages (28) with high reliability and validity. The Greek translation by Dr. George Lyrakos is considered a highly reliable and valid measure (29).…”

Objective: To explore the health-related quality of life and how this is associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress, mediated by personality characteristics in women with Endometriosis Design: Quantitative, cross-sectional study Setting: Cyprus Population or Sample: 47 Cypriot women aged between 20-46 diagnosed with Endometriosis. Methods: Participants, after receiving information about the aims and objectives of the study consented to complete either online or face-to-face questionnaires. With the use of an online platform, volunteers completed three questionnaires. Main Outcome Measures: The psychometric tools used were the Endometriosis Health Profile-30, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and the International Personality Item Pool - Five Factor Model 50. Results: Significant effects of health-related quality of life on symptoms of anxiety and stress emerged. Symptoms of depression showed no significant effect. Neuroticism affected symptoms of anxiety and stress in an unexpected way, as high levels of Neuroticism predicted low levels of symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Also, Neuroticism acts as a mediating factor between health-related quality of life and symptoms of anxiety and stress. Conclusions: These results show how drastically Endometriosis can negatively affect the mental health and quality of life of women. Health-related quality of life affects symptoms of anxiety and stress, which brings upon new evidence to enhance the embodiment of psychological support in the treatment of Endometriosis.
